A second weird thing found on Mt Tongariro summit ridge yesterday:
A constantly playing, solar-powered #Japanese or #Chinese(?), nembutsu chanting plastic lotus flower, firmly embedded in the ground.
I turned it off, but no one here has seen anything like it in the #mountains before!

Another channel for dirty foreign money to influence our politics - Reform might say they want our country back, but how hypocritical is it to use foreign money to achieve that?

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?
Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".
Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.
Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

I am so impressed by how ITV News presenters actually embody feelings and concern in their news reporting; unlike the bland, anodyne presenters now at the BBC.
And I say that as a decades-long, former BBC News watcher.
Well done @itvnews.bsky.social

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.
I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Hi, my name is Suella Braverman. I was a minister in the government that broke Britain. I am so furious that I was a part of breaking Britain that I want you to vote for me to fix the f ups I made because it had nothing to do with me whatsoever.

Just unearthed my 2007 #RiskAssessment for installing webcameras on the side of #DerbyCathedral.
A lot of 'SEVERITY' issues where the outcome was 'LETHAL', but over the last 20 years we do seem to have managed to reduce the risks to zero (so far, anyway)!

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Well said. The problem is that the leaders of the US government and the people around them are more interested in their ability to profit from the resources of Ukraine and business deals in Russia than a lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

There are lies, damned lies & Reform Ltd statistics

The Census says otherwise the number of people in England & Wales who said they cannot speak English at all is ~161,000
Not a million
